This is a collection of 17 superstitions about animals. Collage illustrations are interesting. Historical notes at the end of the book explain the origins of the superstitions. |
Teaching Ideas: |
The teacher will want to provide a context for or introduce the book in some way, as it doesn't tell a story. Students might enjoy collecting other superstitions or "old wives' tales" and creating their own book. Some may also be interested in tracing medical practices or learning about out-moded medical practices (e.g., leeching). |
